Product Description

Review
Many people dream about becoming writers but just don't know where to begin. How can they unlock the creative spirit they are sure lies within them? Schneider and Killick have written this book to help us fulfil our creative ambitions. Starting right at the very beginning, they encourage us to write from our own personal experience, putting our emotions down on paper. Using a wide selection of techniques and exercises, they enable us to explore ourselves and to understand the many influences, inner and outer, which shape us and our views of the world. They also show how to turn this valuable raw material into finished pieces of writing and further examine the possibilities of keeping journals and writing autobiography. Personal writing is a vital form of self-expression, and there can be no doubt that this book will enable the would-be writer to release the flow of words. (Kirkus UK)

Product Description
In Writing for Self Discovery, widely published writers Myra Schneider and John Killick begin at the very beginning - by encouraging us to become comfortable with the idea of writing from personal experience, allowing us to express our own emotions on paper. Practical exercises then gently guide the reader towards the production of longer pieces of creative writing - and with them begins a fascinating journey of self discovery. Packed full of exercises, advice and examples of work by professional and amateur writers, here is an expert's guide to using creative writing as a way to fulfil ambition, self discovery. It offers practical techniques and continuous encouragement - a 'must' for any would-be creative writer or anyone interested in really knowing more about themselves.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Would-be Creative Writer's Dream, 3 Jan 2004
By A Customer
I came across this book while on a residential creative writing course. It has taught me more about the pleasure of writing than any formal course could. I bought this new edition from Amazon as soon as I could. WHAT FUN! It starts off so 'small' and slowly, playfully, gets you onto bigger and juicier stuff. From scribbling, uncensored and uninhibitted, on what you can see at that very moment you will go on to tackling autobiography and memoirs. The exercises lead effortlessly one after the other. Loads of examples of other students work. A fun and harmless way to get to know yourself better (NOT a self-help book, though) and grow to love the physical act of writing and using the written word to express yourself, express anything! Treat the exercises as a hobby and have, on the onehand, a light, entertaining scribble and, on the other, become a dedicated writer for real! If you always knew you had it in you but just couldn't break out and prove it...TRY THIS!
